Super summer time blooms!!
Yay!!! The summer is such a happy blooming time. I'm a very new orchid collector (since January).....only one of these I bought in bloom. The rest have grown so much in such a short period of time as well as gifting me with so many first time flowers....I would think that the first time blooms would be a bit small or less....but I guess not?
The orchids in bloom are:
Masdevallia Machu picchu, 2 spikes!....and I think I see more just starting
Dyakia hendersoniana..2 spikes!
Bulbophyllum fascinator....unfortunately there is no bad smell, which i was looking forward to. It just opened so I'll give it a few days
Cattleytonia Why Not....I bought it with 3 blooms......it shot up a new growth in a few months and gave me 9 this time!!
Trichoglottis triflora....super tiny. It has 4 small spikes that are just starting to open
Phragmipedium fedora brochu......its working on its 4th sequential bloom, I'm hoping there's more!!
Pleurothallis trichostoma.....another super tiny sequential blooms. It grows so fast....I bought it in February and its already tripled in size. It started spiking in May with 3 spikes....now it's up to 10 with the first spikes still going!!! Kind of weird that it seems to need to get into a rhythm for sequential blooming.....when the spikes are young they seem to abort every other flower....but the older spikes are now blooming regularly
Sorry my pictures aren't the best.....and sideways?
.....hopefully you get the idea
